    Sufis and Muslim mystics were powerful missionaries born for the cause of spreading Islam and Christianity got spread through monasticism which means living a life like a monk. Christian Missionaries who held holy gospel to be superior achieved in gaining converts by spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ. Social distinctions are not much in Islam as Islam advocates universal brotherhood and equality. At the same time gender bias can be seen in the Islamic community wherein women and men are not considered to be equal and the rights to hold property differs based on the gender in society.
